Installation

Download the iso file and use unetbootin to install on a usb stick. Leave the stick in the laptop. Reboot. Go into bios by pressing ThinkVantage button and then F1. Choose Startup -> Boot If the usb hdd is excluded then include them with x button and move up with F6. Press F10 to save and exit. Power on the laptop and choose “Install ubuntu” to start installation process.

First thing to check is the hostname inside /etc/hosts to ensure the install process can find the net listener. During the installation of Oracle Linux you set the hostname for example to oracle-vm.localdomain. Open with nano /etc/hosts and keep sure you have a line like this.
